Beggar's Game Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine
She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell
The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man In the heart of a lonely man
She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool
The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity
I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine
Lástima, Luis Composer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute
Agárrate que hay ruina pues nada, que la cosa está fatal El Tony está en la U.V.I. parece que está o punto de palmar Así como lo oyes te juro Por Pastora que es verdad Anoche estuvo a un paso de que le diera el pasmo mareándose un "breakdance" en el Pachá Estaba ya muy chunga la taquicardia, el miedo, Ridiey Scott y encima va el imbécil a echar el resto con una menor que está, además, no veas como en sus años mozos la Bardot... y pasa lo que pasa que el alma pide marcha y el palo no lo aguanta el corazón Lástima, Luis, porque esta noche no estará el Tony con todo la peña en casa de Eduardo para escuchar su disco doble "20 canciones de amor y un Poema desesperado desesperado, desesperado" Faltaba ver al Tony con un equipo médico habitual como aquel hombre, tronco con tubos por delante y por detrás las vueltas que da el mundo ay, si resucitara Carlos Marx y viera a los que cambian las masas por las nalgas según los malos rollos de la edad Iremos ahora a verle me esperan Charo, Edmundo y el Gasset que han vuelto de Segovia de verte una benéfica al Chenel las veces que le dije cuidado Tony con esa mujer... pero él ni puto caso y va por ahí matando tirándose a morir al volapié Lástima, Luis, porque esta noche...
Beggar's Farm Composer(s): Mick Abrahams; Ian Anderson Performer(s): Jethro Tull; Blodwyn Pig
Taking chances, and your reputation's going down Going out in the night time, good thing you make no sound But you don't fool me 'Cause I know what you feel If you ignore the things I see, someday soon's gonna Find your way down on Beggar's Farm Way down on Beggar's Farm
I pay my money for no returns I think I need you, gotta find someone Oh, you don't fool me 'Cause I know what you feel When you go wild and I ask you why, I don't worry When I see you lyin' down on Beggar's Farm
But you're on to me, gonna turn away Won't even listen when you try to say That you were only foolin' 'round 'Cause I know what you feel But if you ask me nicely, woman I'll wake up early one day soon And I'll visit you down on Beggar's Farm
Lástima Nena Composer(s): Miguel Mateos Performer(s): Zas
Estando aquí estoy bien nadie me atrapará y todo lo que me ataba desaparecerá Aunque me vea el mundo como un perro vagabundo voy a encontrar la verdad
Estoy seguro que vendrás a mí por más con tu vestido de sábado nocturno Si vienes perderás lo único que te queda mi herida aún está abierta
Lástima nena que el pájaro voló ni vos ni yo cumplimos nena el pacto de honor El cielo no es tan inmenso como algunos creen (creen no) no es así
Estando aquí estoy bien y aunque me falte algo los pensamientos de mi infancia están a salvo Si la felicidad es una burla del futuro me conformaré con estar seguro
Lástima nena que el pájaro voló ni vos ni yo cumplimos nena el pacto de honor El cielo no es tan inmenso como algunos creen (creen no) no es así
Beg, Steal Or Borrow
Composer(s): Hall; Graeme Anthony; Miler; Branko Bernard; Steve Wolfe
First performance by: The New Seekers - 1972
You know I'll beg, steal or borrow I'll bring you love
I look at you and I see what I've been looking for Now it's very clear to me - we should be together
You make me feel I could reach for the impossible And knowing how much you care, I'll be there forever
You know I'll beg steal or borrow To give you sunny days And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love You know I'll beg, steal or borrow (Yes, I will) To make your garden grow And most of all you know, I'll bring you love Love
I always knew that the world could be a finer place So what if I have to wait - better late than never
You, you're like me, and you believe love makes it all worthwhile And although we've just begun, we'll go on forever
You know I'll beg steal or borrow To give you sunny days And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love You know I'll beg, steal or borrow To make your garden grow And most of all you know, I'll bring you love, yeah Love
You know I'll beg steal or borrow To give you sunny days And in a hundred ways, I'll bring you love, love, love, yeah Love, love, love
Beg, Borrow And Steal Performer(s): Ohio Express; Rare Breed; The Stand
You threw me out the night before last And now you want me back in your arms again You think I'm a fool, you treat me like dirt You pull the string and hope I will be your friend But I know what's on your mind So I'd rather stay out in the street without a dime And I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal I'd rather beg, beg, borrow and steal Than go back to you Than go back to you Than go back to you
How long did you think I'd hang around Pretending not to see the tricks you pulled on me There's only so much a man can take Before his life turns into a tragedy So I'm getting out now while I can Cause I don't want to crawl I want to walk out like a man
Beg Your Pardon Composer(s): Francis Craig; Harry Beasley Smith Performer(s): Pat Boone and various other artists
If I lose my head, beg your pardon For things I have said, beg your pardon Why should I worry and feel like I do? You're in no hurry to let me love you I'll try for a kiss in the garden And then if I miss, beg your pardon But if some sunny day you'll let me have my way I won't have to say, beg your pardon
Last Train To Amsterdam Composer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard Performer(s): Ray Wylie Hubbard
There's an old soul waitin' to be born There's a scarecrow standin' in the corn On of thems wishin' for the light of day One of them is chasin' all the black crows away
Well I'm standing at the station and I don't know where I am And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
There's a preacher out spreadin' the word There's a blond in a thunderbird One of them tells me to kneel and pray One of them gets to me in a real bad way
Well I got me a one way ticket to get me from where I am And the wheels are turnin' on the last train to Amsterdam
I'm standin' just south of Fate There ain't no exit from the interstate There's one way in, it's a long dirty road Only one way our Robert Johnson knows
There's a hobo waitin' on a train There's a hitch hiker standin' in the rain One of them knows he's never going home The other one feels God down in his bones

Before You Accuse Me Composer(s): Ellas McDaniel Originally performed by: Bo Diddley Covered by various other artists
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been talking to someone else
I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago I called your mama 'bout three or four nights ago Your mama said, "Son, Don't call my daughter no more"
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been taking money from someone else
Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time Come on back home, baby; try y love one more time You've been gone away so long, I'm just about to lose my mind
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buying another woman clothes But you've been talking to someone else
Before The Swedish Summer Swedish Title: Framför Svenska Sommaren Composer(s): J.E. Lit; L. Herscher; R. Grahm; K.G. Lundkvist Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog
How I miss the summer It will soon be here Think how warm and nice we have it here in our country Green meadows, sun and sea You can take off your clothes You can lie and rest all day on the beach And when the evening comes You can take your loved one Out to a barn dance or just stay in town Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it We always have something to look forward to How I miss the summer It will soon be here Think how warm and nice we have it here in our country Green meadows, sun and sea You can take off your clothes You can lie and rest all day on the beach Soon it will be here again The warm, beautiful summer Then all the green things grow and the sun shines on our country Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it We always have something to look forward to Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it We always have something to look forward to Before the Swedish summer How lucky we are to have it...
Last Time I Saw Him Composer(s): Michael Masser - Pam Sawyer Performer(s): Diana Ross; Dottie West
Last time I saw him He sweetly kissed my lips Last time I saw him He said: "I'll be back for more of this" Last time I saw him We were crying at the bus I knew he hated leaving But he had to set us up
I gave him money I know I invested well Mamma doesn't trust him But he loves me I can tell
Each time the greyhound Arrives at nine o' clock But I don't start my crying 'Till that last man's gotten off
Last time I saw him Last time I saw my honey Last time I saw him He was greyhound-bound But I'm still waiting here Without a fear That bus will someday turn around
I had no letter It's been six months, maybe better I try forgetting him But I love him more then ever
I have decided I've waited long enough If there was nothing wrong He would return right on that bus
There must be trouble So I'm leavin' on the double If he can't get to me I know he needs me desperately
Last time I saw him Last time I saw my honey Last time I saw him He was looking fine And as he waved goodbye He said don't cry I'm coming back, no rain or shine
Last time I saw him Last time I saw my honey Last time I saw him He was greyhound-bound And as he waved goodbye He said don't cry I'm coming back, no rain or shine
La de da, la da do Do la da da, da da da
Last time I saw him He was looking fine And as he waved goodbye He said don't cry I'm coming back, no rain or shine
Before The Parade Passes By Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
Before the parade passes by I'm gonna go and taste Saturday's high life before the parade passes by I'm going to get some life back into my life
I'm ready to move out in front I've had enough of just passing by life with the rest of them with the best of them I can hold my head up high
I've got to go again I've got to drive again I've got to feel my heart coming alive again Before the parade passes by!
Look at the crowd up ahead Listen and heard that brass harmony growing Look at the crowd up ahead Pardon me if my old spirite showing All of those lights over there Seems to be teeling me where I'm going
When the whistles blow And the cymbols crash And the sparklers light the sky I'm going to raise the roof I'm going to carry on Give me an old trombone Give me an old baton Before the parade passes by
Before the parade passes by Listen and hear that brass harmony growing Before the parade passes by I'm going to get some life back into my life I'm ready to move out in front I've had enough of just passing by life
When the whistles blow And the symbols crash And the sparklers light the sky I'm going to raise the roof I'm going to carry on Give me an old trombone Give me an old baton Before the parade passes by.....!!!
Last Time Composer(s): Annie Lennox - David A. Stewart - Steven VanZandt Performer(s): Gary "U.S." Bonds
Where does the time go baby? Seems like when I got here you were still a child Listen to me baby I would let the tears fall but that's not my style
Next time I see you we'll be older And we'll be changed in ways we might not even see And we may grow apart instead of closer That's why tonight means everything to me
This may be the last time Let's make it the best time May be the last time Let's make it the best time
Look at me baby I wish I could answer all the questions in your eyes What matters baby Is that we look around and be proud of how we spent our lives
Listen baby -I didn't get here by complaining And I'll be leaving the same way that I came In you I saw myself and for that I'm grateful I'm gonna make sure you remember my name
This may be the last time Let's make it the best time May be the last time Let's make it the best time
Next time I see you we'll be older And we'll be changed in ways we might not even see And we may grow apart instead of closer I just want to thank you for being here for me
This may be the last time Let's make it the best time May be the last time Let's make it the best time
Before The Next Teardrop Falls Composer(s): Venna Keith; Ben Peters Performer(s): Freddy Fender
If he brings you happiness Then I wish you all the best It's your happiness, that matters most of all But it he ever breaks your heart If the teardrops ever start I'll be there, before the next teardrop falls Si te quiere de verdad Y te da felicidad Te deseo lo mas bueno pa' los dos Pero si te hace llorar A mi me puedes hablar Y estare contigo cuando triste estas
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side To drive away every teardrop that you cried
If he ever leaves you blue Just remember, I love you And I'll be there, before the next teardrop falls And I'll be there, before the next teardrop falls
